On Emerson

"The fifteen essays on Emerson, reprinted here, were published in American Literature from 1937 to 1986 and reveal the continuity of that journal's interest in studies of literary influence, textual scholarship, and intellectual history. As this volumereveals, its editorial standards for scholarship have contributed to the publication of essays that have endured the winds of fashion."--Choice
